    Mesoscale Discussion 0437
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0113 PM CDT Thu Apr 07 2022

    Areas affected...southeast Virginia...eastern North
    Carolina...extreme northeast South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 071813Z - 071915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop in
    the 4 pm to 5 pm EDT time frame and move east/northeast towards the
    coastal waters through evening. The risk for a couple tornadoes,
    large hail and damaging winds will exist, and a Tornado Watch will
    likely be issued prior to 4 pm EDT.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface mesoanalysis showed a surface low over south-central VA, with a warm front extending east to the lower
    Chesapeake Bay/southern Delmarva peninsula and a cold front
    extending south to the eastern FL Panhandle. Gradual diurnal
    heating and northward moisture advection is occurring over eastern
    NC and southeast VA, where MLCAPE of 1000 - 2000 J/kg will likely
    exist by late afternoon. Deep-layer shear will strengthen to around
    50 kts, resulting in forecast soundings with elongated hodographs
    and some low-level curvature.

    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop after 20z
    near the surface low and cold front, with storms moving
    east/northeast towards the coast through early evening. A mixed
    storm mode including supercell structures and bowing segments
    appears probable with a risk for all severe hazards. Sustained
    supercells east of the surface low and in the vicinity of the warm
    front will have some tornado potential where low-level SRH will be
    locally enhanced. This appears most likely across northeast NC and
    southeast VA including the Hampton Roads area and lower portion of
    the Eastern Shore.

    Observational trends will continue to be monitored, and one or more
    watches will likely be issued prior to 20z/4 pm EDT.

    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0122 PM CDT Sun Apr 02 2023

    Areas affected...Portions of the Texas Hill Country...into North
    Texas and far southern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 021822Z - 022015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercells with a risk for all hazards may develop as
    early as mid afternoon across portions of central and North TX, into
    southern OK. A Tornado Watch will be issued soon to cover the
    threat.

    DISCUSSION...Across the southern Plains, afternoon WV imagery showed
    a well-developed, compact vort max transiting across far west TX and
    eastern NM. Ahead of the vort max, rapid low-level surface moisture
    return was evident across central and north TX with dewpoints
    surging from the low to mid 50s to mid 60s F over the last 1-2
    hours. With rapid moistening and partial cloud breaks ongoing,
    continued destabilization (1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE) is expected
    through the afternoon. Very steep mid-level lapse rates (8.5-9 C/km)
    from the 12z RAOBS will support rapid and robust updraft
    development, potentially as early as 19-20z. Strong vertical shear
    ahead of the vort max ( 45-60 kt 0-6km shear) will allow for storm
    organization with a predominately supercellular mode.

    A somewhat complex convective scenario may evolve this afternoon
    with multiple areas of near simultaneous initiation possible. Cells
    may initiate within the modifying warm sector near and to the
    west/northwest of the Metroplex and far southwest OK. At the same
    time, the dryline in west-central TX will likely initiate a few
    supercells as it mixes eastward. Hodographs, while curved in the
    lowest 1-2 km, are extended and mostly straight line aloft. This,
    along with the favorable buoyancy and lapse rates strongly suggests
    large and wind-driven damaging hail will be likely with any
    sustained storms. A tornado risk (some significant) may also evolve
    given the potential for discrete cells and 0-1km SRH of 150-200
    m2/s2. A locally greater tornado risk may also evolve farther east
    where low-level shear is expected to increase later this evening.
    Given the potential for several supercells within a rapidly
    modifying and favorable thermodynamic/kinematic environment, a
    Tornado Watch will likely be issued this afternoon.

    Areas affected...Part of eastern OH...western/central PA...northern
    WV Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 108...

    Valid 150134Z - 150300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 108
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for isolated hail and damaging wind continues,
    but should gradually diminish with time later tonight.

    DISCUSSION...A persistent storm cluster continues to backbuild
    across far eastern OH into western PA this evening, aided by a feed
    of modest low-level moisture beneath steep midlevel lapse rates (as
    noted on regional 00Z soundings). Deep-layer flow/shear remains
    sufficient for organized convection, and a couple of transient
    supercells have been noted this evening within the broader storm
    cluster. Large hail will continue to be a threat with the stronger
    cells near the western edge of the storm cluster, where a somewhat
    more discrete mode can be maintained. Rather strong low-level flow
    within a remnant well-mixed boundary layer will also continue to
    support a threat of isolated damaging gusts.=20

    With time, nocturnal cooling/stabilization will result in storms
    becoming increasingly elevated, with continued convection tending to
    deplete remaining MUCAPE (as has already occurred farther east).
    However, in the short term, some severe threat will spread
    southeastward in conjunction with the primary outflow boundary.
    Continued redevelopment of convection is also possible into
    northeast OH, where steep midlevel lapse rates could support an
    isolated hail threat into late evening.
